Healthy Pelicans

The Pelicans traded for Jrue Holiday on draft night in 2013, but saw him play in just 34 games due to a stress fracture in his right tibia. They will also have a healthy Ryan Anderson who missed 60 games with herniated disk. Eric Gordon missed New Orleans final 14 games and had knee surgery this offseason. The Pelicans can compete in the West, but they will have to stay healthy to do so.

They added Omer Asik to play next to Anthony Davis and their interior defense might be the best in the NBA.

Tyreke Evans is the only player left on the team who played in at least 70 games last season.

The Spurs were lucky enough to have Kyle Anderson fall to them at pick 30 in the NBA draft, and the rookie could make his debut tonight.

Fear the Beard

The Rockets are all about James Harden and Dwight Howard, but Chandler Parsons is gone and Trevor Ariza is taking his place. It will be interesting to see how he adjusts to the tempo of the offense, but should thrive in the fast break, must like Parsons did.
